$75 Billion doesn’t sound like as much money now as it did back in September of last year. That’s when hundreds of billions first started being thrown out like beads at a Mardi Gras parade. Now all you have to do is prove that you have an ample level of moral fiscal depravity and the guy...

But just barely. Last year’s “year-end” post didn’t get written until we were literally hours into 2008. I’m on the ball this year though. Lots of changes for me this year!  One big event is that I changed jobs.  More accurately, I quit my job and got another one late...

If the taxpayers of this country wanted you to have their money (or had it to give), a good indicator would have been that they were actually buying your cars. Didn’t we already vote on this when we decided not to buy? More here: The federal government has no business running a car company. Co...

Actually no demand at all, but I’ve added the poll back onto the site.  I don’t think anyone missed it, or if they did I didn’t hear about it.  But, as Say Uncle says, “Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.”  I think he only says that because “Powered b...

Have a Nice Day! I’m not going to even begin to bore anyone with the old cliche’d things I’m thankful for.  Family, health, friends, etc.–anyone can think of those.  Besides, I wrote a nice Thanksgiving post last year.  Nope, I’m going to get real.  I’m thankf...

I’m going to go ahead and preface this post with a disclaimer–it’s going to get stupid and, as LL Cool J would say, ridicalous (misspelled on purpose for all you sticklers). Ok, so I have a really bad habit of posting the Mellish Meter rankings on Twitter when I hear them.  What i...

AP vs Bloggers, Couch-gate, and _____ coming soon to an outraged corner of the blogosphere some time next week. If a marketer were smart, she’d use this surefire formula to duplicate these incidents.  It’s really a simple process, and it creates buzz and a ton of web traffic. Announce...

Welcome to the June 16, 2008 edition of carnival of local political gaffes. This is the first edition of the carnival, and there wasn’t much notice for submission, so contributions were light overall, but there is plenty of great stuff here, at least if you live in Tennessee. Christian Grantha...

This along with countless other things that never seem to end here in good ol’ East Tennessee make it really hard to keep up with all the idiotic things local politicians do. I could do what I normally do (complain or nothing), but I’ve decided instead to do something fun with it. I̵...

So I haven’t posted for a couple of days because I’ve been in the land of damn-these-people-drive-like-maniacs, aka the ATL. I’m also way behind on reading, but I just came across a post that is really disturbing. Apparently, it’s now considered bad form to use the phrase ...
